Okay so this idea came to me when I was watching the Bachelor last night. So I'm going to give this type a shot and try to make it different from the Bachelor fanfictions that are out there. This is going to be hard so cut me some slack!! And please read and review!!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not the characters, the game show, just the plot. :)
The room was dark and the sound of Usher's sensual voice filled the flat. Draco led the girl to her couch where he dominated control by staying on top. He met her at a bar a couple hours ago. She was very beautiful and intelligent. Or that's what he heard her say, he thinks. He didn't really pay attention he was more focused on her then what came out of her mouth. Draco admitted to being shallow when it came to that kind of thing. But just look at him and you'd see he had reason to be.
He was one of the smartest boys of his year and had a look that proved to be irresistible. He had those blonde bangs that fell sexily into his intense grey eyes. He had a charm that could make any girl fall for his lustful spell. And he used it to his advantage. Draco smiled as he kissed the girl passionately along her neck line. She giggled and he loved it. She was so naïve and he was professional. It just wasn't fair.
The next day Draco walked along the icy streets of muggle London. He shoved his hands into his black jacket to keep them from falling off. They had gotten a fresh blanket of snow a couple days ago and the weather didn't lighten up any bit. Most people loved this time of year. It was a time to cuddle and be with those you love. It gave them the fuzzies. It just gave Draco the need to throw up. He hated the cold. There was nothing about this kind of weather that made Draco feel all toasty inside. He was counting down the days till spring already.
Draco left the girl's flat early before he had to answer any awkward questions about if they were going somewhere. Draco was not looking for a relationship any time soon. He was happy just the way he was. He just needed something to keep his mind off work for awhile. And she was perfect…at the time anyways. He worked as an auror. That's right Draco Black Malfoy was a good guy! After the death of his father he realized that he wasn't fighting for what he felt he should be. He never liked the idea of having to kill Dumbledore or leaving Hogwarts before seventh year. He just wanted to make his father proud of him.
It took a long time for these people to warm up to him. This frustrated him greatly that no matter what he did for them or how much his charm he worked they still despised him for what he did in the past. Now thought he had defiantly gained some trust. They no longer ignored him the hallways and he actually got invited to the meetings that were held. Now that's what he called progress.
When he was inside the building he took a sigh of relief. Even though he was the odd one out he felt as if he was at home with the other aurors. For once he was doing something that he wanted to do. He walked into his office and looked at the stack of papers sitting on his desk. He had to prove to everyone here that he was really on their side so he felt he had to put in 330 into his work. He quickly pulled out a quill and began to jot down notes form the stack of papers. He worked so long non stop that he didn't even notice Blaise Zabini waltz right in with a brown paper bag.
Blaise worked at Gringotts after the war and it obvious he was happy where he was right now. "Aye, mate!" he said moving a stack of papers to acknowledge his presence. "Don't say hi to your best friend anymore?" Draco laughed and got up to greet his friend properly.
"What are doing here? Shouldn't you be at work?" Draco asked sitting back down.
"Not at lunch. Besides can't a guy come to see his best mate and get him out of these stoned walls for a hour?" Draco rolled his eyes and returned to the stack of papers that shrunk during his hours. "Okay, let me put this more clearly. I'm taking you out to lunch whether you like it or not!" Blaise said reaching g over to grab Draco's hand and drag him out the building.
They sat inside the dark Leaky Cauldron and took a few bites out of a sandwich and some sips of a glass of whisky. "I can't believe it! My mate, Blaise Zambini, is engaged!" Draco said slamming his glass down on the wooden table with a smile on his face. Blaise laughed and looked down at his half eaten pork sandwich.
"I know." he said still smiling. "Just the way she makes me feel…it's…I don't know indescribable!" Blaise said reaching in to his wallet to pull out a picture of his fiancée. Draco took the picture and smiled.
"She is a beauty..." He said looking at a recent photo of Blaise and his girlfriend, Parvati Patil. She had hair a little past her shoulders and layered. Her smile was as white with burgundy lips. "Very beautiful."
"She's more then that." Blaise said reaching for the picture. "She's smart and funny, and is always there to talk to. I've never been with a girl who actually knows there's something wrong with me before it even happens!"
Draco laughed. "Oy, Blaise! You sound like one of those stupid actors in those muggle movies!" Draco said still laughing. Blaise smiled and eventually joined in.
"I remember when we used to make fun of guys like that. What do you know, I'm one of them now!" Blaise said.
"Yeah." Draco answered remembering sitting in the common room making fun of every guy in a relationship who would walk their girlfriend's to class.
"Are you gentlemen finished?" A waitress asked. Draco turned around to hand her his plate but froze at the woman. She was gorgeous. She had blonde hair that was messily pulled into a ponytail and her uniform hugged her curves tightly. She smiled at Draco and had a twinkle in her eye.
"As a matter of fact we are." Draco said eying her up and down then settling his eyes on her face. She smiled and accepted the plate. "I'm sort of new around here. Do you know where I can find a market place? I need to get a few things." Draco said pulling a folded piece of paper out of his pocket.
She smiled. "Well I get off work at five. If you can find your way back here then I'll show you." She said running her fingers along the collar of her white shirt. Draco smiled he knew what she was thinking now. She wanted him.
"Sounds good. I'm Draco Malfoy." He said extending a hand to her.
"Lacey Camila." She said accepting his hand. "I better get back to work." She said turning away. "See you at five, Draco." She said walking away. Draco watched her walk away and turned back to face Blaise holing back a fit of laughs.
"Same old Draco." He said. "My best friend, perhaps the biggest man whore to ever hit Howgwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Draco nodded his head smirking as Blaise erupted in laughs. "So when do you think your going to hang up the crown and settle down for real?" Blaise asked in a more serious tone.
Draco shrugged as if he was thinking about it. "Let's see, tomorrow's Thursday…I'm twenty three…I want to be married by about…never." He said taking a last drink of his whisky.
"Seriously?" Blaise asked cocking an eyebrow. "What about when your old and eighty and all alone."
Draco shrugged. "Don't know. Not really worried about it right now. I'm living in the now." Draco answered.
"Man your all work with no future?" Blaise asked. "How the bloody hell can that be!"
Draco laughed. "I have plans for the future just not involving a woman. I prefer to play the field." He shrugged.
"Aye mate. I don't think you'd be able to handle it." Blaise said turning away and reaching in his pocket to pull out a few galleons and couple sickles.
"Handle what?" Draco asked leaning forward. "I'm Draco Black Malfoy! I can handle anything! I thought I proved that to you already!"
"Yeah you proved that you could get any girl but, you never proved you could keep her!" Blaise said.
"What are you talking about?" Draco asked getting caught up in their friendly debate. "I can keep any girl I want."
"That may be true but, they'll stay with you, but you can take the thought of being with one woman the rest of your life." Blaise said. "It's no big deal. Commitment isn't for everyone."
Draco stood up. "It may not be for everyone but it is for me! I just haven't met the right witch!" he said.
"Did you ever think she wasn't a witch?" Blaise asked. "Oh wait! You wouldn't dare go out with a muggle or half blood! I forgot you're the same old Draco."
"I've matured! If the right girl was a… muggle…" Draco finally managed to choke out. "Then I'd marry her in a heartbeat. Without a doubt!"
Blaise stood up to meet Draco's grey eyes and smirked mischievously. "Then prove it."
